Can genetics please parse the confusing spectrum of frontotemporal dementias? Whole genome sequences make a start.
At AAT-ADPD, researchers report how they built on prior reports that a person’s blood level of p-tau181 tells if they have Alzheimer’s.
In 2,144 Colombian ADAD family members, plasma NfL in gene carriers rises as early as two decades before their symptoms start.
The FDA has prioritized review of C2N’s blood test for amyloid-β. A pivotal clinical trial will correlate the test with amyloid PET scans.
With plasma tests performing in AIBL staging, scientists are sharing data across platforms and cohorts, and tackling standardization to avoid time lost to irreproducibility.
At SfN 2017, some of the lesser-known tau toxicities came in for deep scrutiny.
Despite no warning signs in ongoing clinical trials, researchers are searching for safer drugs, and better biomarkers to measure what they do.
The day-long advisory committee meeting will be broadcast live online. Prerecorded presentations are to be available November 4; the public can submit comments.
A recent genetics symposium drew positive reviews for its approach of following up prerecorded, on-demand talks with a live Q&A session.
Researchers at AAT-AD/PD discussed investigational PD treatments that aim to modify disease by hitting genetic risk factors.
Treatments targeting the main pathological protein of Parkinson’s disease are moving toward the clinic, with two immunotherapies passing Phase 1 safety benchmarks.
Scientists at AD/PD 2019 see a Goldilocks of microglial activation: Both too little and too much is bad in an injured brain. How could a therapy make it just right?
Two papers report that skin samples from people with Parkinson’s disease contain α-synuclein seeds that can be robustly amplified, paving the way for a reliable test for the disease.
Reducing levels of monounsaturated fatty acids lowered α-synuclein toxicity and prevented movement symptoms in mice. Scientists say the data boost the α-synuclein tetramer hypothesis.
Armed with snazzy new hardware, scientists solve protein structures to a resolution of 1.22Å. Cryo-EM now rivals X-ray crystallography.
